Built IndieHQ after paying Β£300+ yearly for basic invoice formatting β UK freelancers, thoughts?
Hey Product Hunt! π
I just soft-launched IndieHQ (indiehq.org) after getting frustrated with a recurring problem.
The pain: Every January, my accountant charged me Β£300+ just to reformat my FreshBooks exports for UK tax authorities (HMRC). The data was all there, just in the wrong format.
The solution: Built IndieHQ with proper UK tax compliance baked in:
- One-click HMRC-ready exports (sales/purchases separated, VAT calculated)
- Professional invoice templates with payment tracking
- Built-in expense categorization
- No enterprise bloat
Early traction: Already seeing interest from UK freelancers who are tired of the same accountant fee trap.
Questions for the community:
1. Any other UK founders here who've dealt with this HMRC export nightmare?
2. What's your take on building ultra-niche solutions vs. broader appeal?
3. Feedback on the positioning?
Would love your thoughts! π
